Chapter 300: What an admirable close-up magic, what a wonderful double-act scam

What an admirable close-up magic, what a wonderful double-act scam

Cheng Shi was confused; he was extremely puzzled.

The biggest problem he faces now is that if we take that 【Fate】 trial as the dividing point of memory, he still lacks a crucial "link" to connect the "certain memories" before this and the "shadow" after this. Only by connecting this logic can he figure out what Zhen Yi asked that Puppet Master to do!

So he began to diverge his thinking.

First, it can be determined that Zhen Yi had long known from others' mouths about "herself" eating the fruit.

And his identity in that game might not be seen through by others, but Zhen Yi herself must know. After all, besides the clown himself, there couldn't be anyone else who dared to impersonate her and could say a "clown" she had just met.

So the first clue that can be determined is that Zhen Yi knows he ate the fruit.

And this bitter fruit of 【Fate】 was "produced" by Conjugate Whispers. Conjugate Whispers are reality and illusion reflecting each other, and reflected on people, it is the body and the shadow. For a liar who also belongs to 【Void】, thinking of the shadow from the fruit might not be too outrageous.

But the problem is, how does she know that there is a secret hidden in this shadow?

To be reasonable, before the shadow became mechanical, he only thought his shadow was a faith converter!

But now, it clearly has other meanings. What is this meaning?

It couldn't be that his Benefactor told her directly?

Hmm, don't rule out this possibility; the God of Fun can do this kind of thing.

But if we don't talk about this illogical fun, and only push through the player's perspective and logic, is it possible to connect the two memories?

Sun and moon alternate, above reality and illusion, the future has arrived...

The first two sentences are clearly locations, and the last sentence should be the prophecy, but what relationship can this prophecy have with the fruit of Conjugate Whispers?

No!

Wait!

It really has a relationship!!!

Cheng Shi suddenly thought of a possibility, and this possibility was so absurd that his scalp began to numb, his whole body was like being ravaged by an electric current, his spine tightened, and his hair stood on end!

His heartbeat began to accelerate, his hands began to tremble, his pupils shrank to the size of needle tips, and his teeth clenched tightly.

He didn't dare to imagine this was true, but after thinking about it, this was the only possibility, because he thought of the only connection between this prophecy and the fruit, and this only connection was:

Future!

And regardless of what the future of the prophecy specifically refers to, or who it is, this fruit of Conjugate Whispers can be related to the future!

Because, when the Conjugate Whispers tree was ripened, it used 【Prosperity】 divinity from the "future"!

That exhausted 【Prosperity】 divinity was brought back from the future by Su Yi Da!!!

Although this fruit was not picked from the tree, but turned out by himself through "offerings to the void," one must know that when he was trying to deceive the fire-passers, he was standing on the Conjugate Whispers tree!

If there was any trick hidden in this 【Prosperity】 divinity, then that was the only chance for the backup in the divinity to contact the fruit!

So, is this still a game from the future!?

Zhen Yi got involved in that killing game from the future?

No, still not right. The Puppet Master has no malice toward him; she seems to be only interested in the shadow, so where did he think wrong?

Future, future, what future, whose future, where is the future?

Thinking and thinking, Cheng Shi was stunned and blurted out: "Is there a future in the shadow?"

Is the prophecy in my shadow?

Cheng Shi, who had been lowering his head in thought, suddenly raised his head, his eyes glowing. He began a bold reverie.

He was thinking that Zhen Yi knew everything he had experienced, so she could think of everything he just thought of. That is to say, she had long linked that divinity from Su Yi Da with the fruit of Conjugate Whispers. No, her association was simpler, because no one knew that the fruit was not produced by Conjugate Whispers!

Everyone thought that it was the fruit produced by the Conjugate Whispers tree, so she linked the fruit and the future together.

But just like this, she doesn't have to be so interested in the shadow of a clown who she once teased and who made her take the blame, unless, this shadow is still related to the prophecy!

Oh no!

Cheng Shi suddenly discovered that his cognition had a mistake. He was too confident, so he miscalculated one thing, which was: no one told him that the prophecy had ended!

He only inferred this conclusion through the Chosen's move of re-scoring, but...

Zhen Yi is a liar!

Regardless of whether she shares an ID with her sister, in short, Sincerity hasn't returned to the peak; she is just still in the process of climbing.

And she is still very close to his score!

Since she can deceive all the Chosen down, why can't she deceive them back up?

And this reason for deceiving them back up seems to be given by himself?

"Heh!" Cheng Shi was angered into laughter. He was angered into laughter by his own hindsight, and also angered into laughter by that so-called "future."

So the Puppet Master is so concerned because Zhen Yi told her all this?

She still has thoughts about this shadow connected to the future prophecy?

Wait!

Since there is a future hidden in the shadow, then...

Thinking of this, Cheng Shi frowned and immediately shouted to the back:

"Baldy, what happened in the house when I closed the door to deal with the old patriarch today?

I want all the processes, all the details. This is very important. You must tell me without missing a single bit!"

The giant bear was fighting happily. She was stunned when she heard this, and then was slapped to the ground by Erpuska.

She twitched her eyes and gritted her teeth: "Must it be at this time!?"

Cheng Shi nodded solemnly: "Yes! Just now."

"..."

The giant bear roared and lifted the tree spirit stepping on her back, and then cursed while beating the tree spirit:

"Nothing happened, damn it!

That Shit-Official puppet disappeared for a while. I thought the Puppet Master hid him in the shadow to wait for an opportunity, so I confronted her for a while, but later the Shit-Official puppet appeared again, and then she confessed herself. We didn't fight!"

Cheng Shi frowned and immediately asked: "Appeared at the door after disappearing!?"

The giant bear roared and began to wrestle with the tree spirit.

"Yes, it was the place where he disappeared!"

!!!

A sharp glint flashed in Cheng Shi's eyes, and he suddenly realized.

Understood.

He was tricked.

That wasn't shadow travel at all; that was that historian taking the opportunity to enter the void!

He used the panic visit of the Fungus-Foot people and the opening of the door to expose his backup to create a time difference, forcing him to be isolated outside the door and losing judgment of the situation in the house, and used this to hard-control Hong Lin for a while.

And it was in this moment of time that he might have found what he wanted in the void long ago?

Can the Puppet Master's control threads control puppets in the void in reality?

A bit difficult...

So this historian, whom he thought was a puppet of the Puppet Master, doesn't look like a puppet of the Puppet Master!

He boarded the void through the position of his shadow, and went to find the future mentioned in the prophecy in the void!

Such precise timing, such high-level guided deception, can this be a 2300-point historian!?

Impossible!

He must be a liar, and a high-level liar!

He actually deceived him right under his nose!

What an admirable close-up magic, what a wonderful double-act scam!

If the facts are really like this, if there is really some "future" corresponding to the shadow in the void, then, he...

Did he find it? ===== CHAPTER 301 =====
